The Cheshire Girls supports#ACTIV8afriend - a gentle 'nudge' every month to help get more women more ACTIVE!

A group of previously inactive women who have changed their lives for the better with support from Active Cheshire! The innovative project was targeted at women in a deprived local area and they were recruited through the local hairdresser. 6 months on, 18 women are still attending and 2 who have left continue to exercise. Over the summer the group are taking part in a parent and child bootcamp as well as their weekly session. The changes they have made to their lives with both exercise and healthy eating have been huge.

Most women only need a 'nudge' to get more active - so WSNet runs a monthly #ACTIV8aFRIEND programme on social media. Why don’t you join us on the 'eighth' of each month and invite a friend, rellie or neighbour to join you at your class . . . or for a run. If you run a #FemaleFriendly class/club - offer a discount, voucher, BOGOF . . .or just a FREE session if people bring a friend. You get more folk joining your sessions - we get more women more ACTIVE - and have a fun time on social media tweeting about #ThisGirlCan - and it's FREE - we will RT many the best tweets/pix to our 45k community.
